Available data relevant to the presence of the intracluster medium (1CM) in the Hercules supercluster are reviewed. Some optical and X-ray properties are summarized. An identification of the X-ray source (2A 1600 + 164) with the cD galaxy in A2147 is proposed. A Westerbork 1415-MHz observation of the wide-angle tailed radio source associated with NGC 6061 is presented, and the apparent morphology of this source is discussed by applying the independent blob model of Jaffe and Perola (1973) with a nonperpendicular ejection angle. From these considerations one component (f + g) of the source was found likely to be thermally confined by the ICM, and a lower limit of the product of the density and temperature of the ICM surrounding this source is derived. Optical, radio and X-ray data are combined, and a rough sketch of the ICM in the Hercules supercluster is presented.
